I hope everyone will correct me;if I'm wrong.I remember when Obama was ask about race.He stated he was an mongrel/Mulatto.So it should be a non-racial issue.If he admits to it;then let it be so. I must say I consider him more black than white.His father was a black African.The male gene is the deciding factor on the race of an mongrel mix?

How about calling Mc Cain that old white guy. And Sara Palin a white lady who's a real looker.

Gotta say one thing about Obama he's got both the liberals and conservatives mad at him.

Maybe he's doing something right.

Now flame me.

Because when you mix vanilla with sh**,you tend to really taste the sh**.

But seriously,they call him black,although he's a mulatto{ie.his mother is white}because even mulattoes are generally referred to as black.
Like the saying above,it's like the white genes are polluted{or regressive?}and so the person tends to move towards the black side,rather than the white.

But I dont like it at all,especially when the person is intelligent or successful,they should be called what they are-a mullato,a mix of black and white.After all,mulattoes generally tend to be more intelligent or successful than pure blacks.{Ie.Francis DuBois and Booker T.Washington had white genes}

It's political though,they do it to give full credit-and not just half-to blacks! So they will feel better about themselves.Like,"Obama is black,he's one of us!He's da prezident!"
~When in actuality,his mother raised him and instilled in him good values etc.while his black father had nothing to do with him,just like so many other typical black father's.

Notice the glaring double standard and hypocrisy of it all?

And who's largely behind it all?...That's right,the media.
And who largely controls the media?...That's right.

And who watches the media on a daily basis?...That's right,the great masses of whites and colored sheeple around the world.

Because the proper Southern term 'mulatto' has fallen out of favor with today's PC wimpoids. Newspeak pretends mulattos, quadroons, octaroons, et al, no longer exist. Via the one-drop rule, he's black anyway, but more accurately he is mulatto.
